The only anime I've seen in full is Soul Eater, which I recommend. I'll eventually watch Death Note...but otherwise I have no drive to watch anime as I already have a 20+ list of stuff I want to watch on netflix.

Seen All:Sailor Moon (Japanese only all 200 season episodes plus specials and movies.)Neon Genesis EvangelionFLCLRanma ½ (But only half of Season 7).hack//SIGNGhost in the ShellArmitage III (Movie and episodes)Speed GrapherSekirei (Season 1, not sure if they went ahead and made a second season)

Seen Parts:VandreadMelancholy of Haruhi SuzumiyaPrincess JellyfishPokémon (Most of Season 1)Dragon BallDragon Ball Z (All of Cell Saga, most of the other sagas)Yu Yu Hakusho (Most of Dark Tournament, some other earlier episodes)HellsingMidori DaysMadlaxG-GundamSlayersHighschool of the DeadCowboy Bebop (Most episodes but not in order)Chobits (Episodes 1-12)Samurai ChamplooExcel SagaGun BusterFulk Metal Alchemist (Some scattered episodes, half of the movie)

So far only Evangelion (ever since Silva linked to that one video in the minifig-scale Eva thread), although I must say that I like what I see and am interested in exploring other animes.

Unfortunately, I'm only on episode 11 so far as I have to steal the FBI's headphones, tell her I'm watching "multivariable calculus lectures", and find a time when she won't interrupt me for a while (i.e. shower, closet-cleaning, etc.) every time I want to watch an episode, so I've been moving at a snail's pace.

After you're done Evangelion I don't really know what to reccomend you.

You could watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann which is by the same studio and has awesome mecha fights.

If your favourite thing about it was the scary and depressing parts I would reccomend The Road.

If you want to watch something short but good you should watch Shinji Magica (but don't look up anything about it).

If you liked the mecha fights, explosions, fictional science and drama then I would reccomend Code Geass. Although you have to watch the episodes in order. Also the english Dub is actually watchable.

To be honest my favorite part of the show is those bizarre-as-fuck angels. Each one is like a Kinder surprise egg of weirdness.

I mean, people might say that, say, Shinji is a little cute, but she has nothing on a perfectly-geometric octahedron or a living pocket dimension explained by higher-order physics theories. Super-intelligent biological computer virus is close, although it has the off-chance of turning out to be an STD or something.
